Just another bad day for me!
Can’t believe that by introducing a person to someone, I can be hated so much! Geez! I was thrown offensive words by a guy. It was so hurting that I got so confused, angry and eventually cried while I was confiding it to a friend. I don’t know why I was blamed and hated so much. He even wished me to suffer the same pain and hurt. Wow! He doesn’t know me much and don’t know what I’ve been through when it comes to pain/hurt whatsoever!
He likes/love (dunno) my friend but he is married. He likes her to be his second wife (he is a Muslim) – and I have no clue about it. My lady friend (non-Muslim) became so close with a guy friend I introduced to her. And that is where all the hatred against me started.
Tell me if I did something bad? Or he's just that crooked and narrow-minded person.

You have not done anything wrong. And crying over something he said is not necessary. He is the stupid one. If he wants that woman for himself, then he fight for her, not blame others for his lack of effort and his ugliness.

But he can't fight for someone who do not like him anymore. And he must be contented with his life. He must not bother other people just because he is bored with his wife.

Really creepy, I wouldn't want to be alone with that guy. Maybe if you get close to him, he will think he can also ask you to marry him and be his second wife. LoL! Silly! (I Wonder why emoticons don't work today. Hmmmn)

Oh, I can see why he is frustrated. So he is a married man and still after other women? Creepy...
Then he should improve himself and get over it already.

Why was he mad at you? For introducing the woman to him? Maybe he did love the woman but the woman would not want to be the second wife and that irked him. Just don't mind him. He must just be frustrated. He should understand that only a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim woman who would embrace their religion can actually understand what he wants.

I asked her - and she said he was okay and maybe understands things now. But I still doubt. Because before that day, my girl friend says this crazy guy talked to my guy friend telling him not be jealous and all when he calls her.
But the next day, he was slamming me with words. What is that all about? LoL! Wearing mask and showing that he is okay. But when messaging me - blaming and hating me. He didn't deserve forgiveness so I just ignored him.
My friend can't stay away from him. They're colleagues and working in one department together.

Yes and they are still friends. So we never thought about him reacting that way. She kept explaining to him that he must not involve other people and not hate other people.. But he did anyway. The most annoying part is that - he blamed everything to me.
I have ignored him after that day. His apologies do not matter anymore. I feel that there won't be any sincerity because he tried apologizing only after my female friend spoke to him. If she didn't, would he think he is wrong? I guess not.

I will never again befriend him. It is not the first time I argued with his crooked beliefs. And yesterday was the day he showed me how very narrow-minded he is. And that no words can ever make him realized that he’s wrong.

Everybody deserves someone for him/herself. Men already cheat enough to get what they want. Most women are neglected and just cheap servant for their husband. Since your friend is not a muslim why should she want to be with one and also not be the only one for him? After her he will take someone else, better, younger or... I doubt your friend is able to take care in the same way of more as one wife. Since this is written down, this is the law. A muslim male can have more as one wife but he has to treat them (and their children) exactly the same, has to be able to take care of them (in most cases the men do nothing and the women are taking care of everything). Let that "friend" be angry as much as he wants. He just can't stand the fact that female friend of yours likes someone else. And yes he is a very narrow-minded but also selfish person! It's not about love but about the fact he is NOT wanted. Men get mean if they find out not everybody feels great to be their (next or one of the many) wifes. Men like to brag, to show off.. he can't. Pity for him. Delete that terrible man out of your life!

I actually thought of blocking him on FB so he won’t bother me anymore. Coz right after my lady friend read our conversation from his Fb account and argued with him. He suddenly seems to get awakened and apologizing on me. Bugging me up by calling and sending sms that he wants to talk to me. And that he is just expressing what he felt as a brother to a sister. Wow! After all that he said to me – he would say he is just expressing himself to me? LoL!
My friend can actually love and accept a Muslim – but not be one of the wives. Not all Muslims marry multiple wives. Some of them have only one wife – and I guess that is what my friend would choose for her. You are right he is a very selfish person. He seems to imply to my friend that he is jealous because she has no time for him anymore being her friend. If he wants her to be a friend only and his intention of being her friend is real – he would be happy she’s having lots of friends.

You were merely the middle man and what went on between the two of them is their decision and action. You just introduced them as friends right? So why worry if they became more than that when you didn't intend that to happen. He is just making you guilty because he doesn't want to blame himself. Don't worry about it. If he won't come to his senses then it's his loss. He will surely not be my friend anymore if I were in your shoes.

Yes you got it right. I just introduced them to each other. If they liked or not like each other - it is already up to them. No one can force any one to be in a relationship or be friends with someone. If they also do not like each other to be friends it's their decision.
I feel that he wants me to understand him where his hate is coming from. But sorry to make him feel because I am certain now I didn't do anything wrong. The problem is with him. He can;'t accept defeat. And he is a very selfish person.

I can be narrow minded too. But not like how this guy can be. LoL.
Surely I wont let it bring me down again. Well, at least now I guess I wouldn't talk to him again. No matter how many apologies he has sent later today.

Gee whiz..dear En, I am missing something here, I do not understand what you mean by him being and Muslim, and her not! I am presuming Muslim can have multiple wives....is he mad at you because you introduced him to a Non-Muslim and he wasn't wise enough to discern her beliefs...he fell in love with her, and now he blames you for misleading him. I am sorry, I cannot understand why he is being mean to you!
And, if this guy were worth his salt...he could have had a chat with you, rather than being verbally abusive! Sorry, but this jerk does not deserve your tears!

Hi dear pergammano
Two consecutive days was pretty bad because of these two guys. One is the cheater and second, the narrow minded guy.
Yes, they can marry another wife as long as they would treat them equal and that there's a valid reason for marrying a new one. She used to like him too before when he was not married yet. But when he got married, of course, she would know that whatever she feels for him before must be forgotten. She doesn't like to be someone's second wife. But they were colleagues so they are still good friends. Didn't know that when she met a new guy, through me, this guy would act this way. But to my amazement, it was I whom he puts the blame on.
The guy I introduced to my friend is also my friend. And he is also a Muslim. There is no issue about different religions. Just the views of that guy is unbelievable and why I was the one who gets all his offensive words via private message in FB. He even accused me of stealing a friend from him and giving her to someone else too. I don't wanna waste time on him actually, but his words had hit me, could not take someone saying all those bad things to me.
And when I asked my friend to read the messages he sent to me. and my confronted him. He message a lot of apologies, sorry and all. Keeps calling me to talk to me. But I guess I don;t need his sorry no more after all those words have been said.

My dearest little En...(Virtual Mom speaking) YOU are far too generous of good spirit to surround yourself with these leeches...time for you to do some weeding of friends (associates)as I see it. The disrespect that these two are presenting you with, to me is also the reason that you need to banish them! They both seem a bit like drama queens...with a superior "me" attitude! Please, my dearest little one...even read your post again, and you will acknowledge, I am sure, these denegrades do not have the right to be in your realm. Truly, there are beautiful people out there...banish these two!

"drama queens" is the perfect term!
I have already ignored him totally. Even when he is sending me messages. I don't think I can still call him a friend after doing that to me. We do not know each other for a long time for him to tell me that he sees me as a sister and that he is saying all those things like a brother to a sister...

it wasnt your option if they fall in love with each other. You only did the introducing. Dont blame yourself. Your Muslim friend is just too hurt maybe and frustrated he cant blame anybody. It will soon pass. But definitely it wasnt your fault. cheer up! ;)

I actually do not consider him as a friend anymore. Coz this is not the first time this guy says something nasty to me. Even when he was asking me to roam with him alone and told him I don't hang out with married guys, he says a lot of things too, argued to me so much.
He is not a close friend ever since. To me he is just an acquaintance as he was introduced by my roommate. I've known him for a few months only. So he has no right to tell me that he said that to me because I am his friend. No real friend will ever hurt you by words that way for such silly reasons.

None of this is your fault. Just because you introduced him to her doesn't mean it is your fault how feels his beliefs or that he wanted to marry her. He should respect the other woman's wishes and be nicer to people. He was mean selfish and rude and not worth one tear you cried. If he comes to you again with the name calling make him stop. Or you can go to the police for harassment.

True! And I do not know what is on his mind - what he wants for my friend, and what is going on with them. I was left in confusion, shocked seeing his words and taking all his harsh words. Yes he is not worth my tears,it just came out suddenly while I was talking to a friend about it.
He had apologized to me yesterday on FB message still. But I feel there is no need for me to reply on him anymore. I've said my piece and he didn;t understand. If the reason of saying sorry to me is because my friend had talked to him. Well I don't think he realized he is wrong. So I wouldn't say anything and wouldn't take his calls anymore.

No need to cry. You introduce him a friend. He expected her to be more than a friend. How is it your fault?
He should be glad you don't hate him, he has no right to hate you. Are you sure he is a friend or a fiend?

I got carried away with the anger I felt... reason why I cried too. Yes, that's precisely the reason but he has no right anymore. First of all he is already married. Second, my friend can;t love him anymore. And last, she likes someone else and happy now. And his frustration and anger over what happened were all blamed on me. I really could not accept that.
From what he said when he apologizes after my friend had talked to him about not blaming me... he says he was just expressing it to me like a brother to a sister... like a friend... but I don't think so. If she did not talk to him he would've have apologized to me.

That depends if you introduced her in such a way that you lead your friend on that the guy you introduced could be a love interest then she has a right to get mad. And even if so that he were an available love interest, the principles in love and relationships of a Muslim and a non-Muslim are very different. Naturally if your friend saw him as a love interest, and she isn't okay with her partner being polygamous, it will really hurt her feelings.

Although i think it went too far the way she confronted you and called you names. And besides its her fault too for not finding out his demographics before she develops feelings for him. If she had known that the guy has different belifs about marriage than her, she shouldn't have associated her self with him.

Oops.. Haha! I got mixed up in the characters. Sorry. I'm just used to having girls being the sad sad people in the story.
Please change:
Her/ She- the Muslim guy
The guy/ he/ him- non-Muslim girl

No one has the right to get mad. In the first place, he is already a married guy. And no one can read minds. I do not know what he wants. I don't know what people thinks too. All I know is that my lady friend wants to have a boyfriend. My male friend wants to have a girlfriend too. I did not introduce them so both can have a relationship. I introduced them to each other so they can be friends. If they want to be more than friends - then it is their decision. So I am not guilty of any crime. LoL! I will let the married guy feel guilty about everything he said to me, I have been ignoring his messages since that day.
